I am using JRiver Media Center 17 since April, and I still haven't figured out what seems to be a trivial issue :
whenever opening JRiver, it does not load any Cover Art for my Library, although files are correctly present in a dedicated, separate folder. When I select all my albums and use the "Cover Art > Quick find in File / Cover Art Directory" function, it correctly finds the Cover Art that is in my dedicated folder. However I have not found any way to have JRiver automatically fetch cover art from this folder at Startup
Here is my setup :
- Library is coming from a Synology NAS through DLNA
- The Synology NAS is running the latest DSM software
- I have deactivated in the Synology DLNA options (called Media Server) the ability to transmit cover art that is stored on the NAS as Folder.jpg and other file names. I want to use Cover Art that is local to JRiver, as it provides the best quality when in Theater mode (for some reason, when it comes from the NAS through DLNA, cover art is downscaled to a lower resolution and I have not seen any way to change this)
I have tried most (if not all) settings combinations in JRiver that are more or less related to Cover Art. Here is my current config:
- Options > File Location > Cover Art > Audio Mode : In a specified Folder
- Options > File Location > Cover Art > Folder : D:\Cover Art\
- Options > File Location > Cover Art > Also store image in the file's tag : disabled
- Options > General > Importing & Tagging > Update tags when file info changes : disabled
- Options > Library & Folders > Auto-import > Run auto-import in background : enabled
- Options > Library & Folders > Auto-import > Configure Auto-import > Folders : none (as I am using DLNA)
- Options > Media Network > Use Media Network to share this library and enable DLNA : enabled
- Options > Media Network > Add or Configure DLNA Servers > My Synology DLNA entry > Advanced > DLNA : enabled
- Options > Media Network > Add or Configure DLNA Servers > My Synology DLNA entry > Advanced > DLNAextra : enabled
- Options > Media Network > Add or Configure DLNA Servers > My Synology DLNA entry > Advanced > Enable Bitrate Field : enabled
Am I missing something ?
Is there any way to make Cover Art stick ? Or failing that, any way to force JRiver to refresh from the local Cover Art directory at Startup ?
Many thanks for any help you could provide, this is actually the first time I have been stuck in a computer-related issue
